What is Barry Van Dyke’s Personality Type?

Barry Van Dyke is an emotional creature who, as a result of the preponderance of emotion, sensation, and feeling in his psychological make-up, has acquired a deep sense of his individuality and uniqueness. He sometimes feels “different” – set apart from others. In order to justify this idea of himself, he attempts to behave differently, to impress the crowd. The product of his efforts is usually rather grandiose and exaggerated. It’s a self-perpetuating bind, because his impressive deeds usually earn recognition for him, and reinforce his self-assurance and his certainty that he does indeed stand head and shoulders above the rest. He sometimes makes an attempt to bluff and show off with an emotional display. He likes to take risks and give people advice. Nevertheless, at the basis of his conduct, there is a feeling of social anxiety, which is probably unconscious or unconfessed. He may fear being absorbed or enslaved by society. The positive side of this unconscious anxiety is that it drives him to create, to counteract the deeply felt effects of time and the masses on his ego. By creating something, he can make his own individual mark on the world; he can organize it to reflect his own image, instead of allowing himself to be submerged by it. The preceding comments about creating the world in your own image are strong indications that he seeks to identify with his superego. The difference between his ideal of himself and the individual he knows himself to be in truth, measured in terms of his social recognition or the recognition of his creations (children, works of art, etc.), will determine his state of mind. It is therefore important for him to make these images match to a certain extent, to reduce the gap as much as possible. The psychological dynamic described earlier explains many of the pluses and minuses in his personality. His dignity and self-assurance may border on vanity; his strong instinct and ambition combined with his somewhat exaggerated individualism incline him to be self-focused. He may be proud, but he is also courageous, determined, and generous. He has the skills of an educator or an artist; moreover, he is mysteriously lucky.

Due to the influence of Libra rising, you treasure harmony and will actively strive to achieve it, both in your social life (in your relationships with others) and in your private life (in terms of art, grace, and beauty). You are conscious of your debt to others, and you take your commitments very seriously, rarely neglecting your social responsibilities and obligations. You expect the same of others in return and may be offended by their lack of grace or a casual attitude to social duties. As a result, your intimate ties (to a partner, for example) will be of primordial interest to you. A committed pacifist, you have an innate sense of generosity and truth, which makes you an expert diplomat. However, you must learn to overcome your anxieties and occasional fits of self-doubt. Once you do, you can accomplish all you have the potential to do in the field of relationships and social harmony.

Barry Van Dyke finds his work rewarding. Daily life and routine activities are excellent sources of self-fulfillment for him.

Barry Van Dyke has a somewhat secretive personality; he is tempted if not compelled to live a somewhat withdrawn life.

At the time of your birth, your rising sign was located in Libra (the Scales), while the sun was passing through the sign of Leo (the Lion). A summary of the various clues mentioned above provide your personality profile. The following key words capture the essence of your character and indicate certain contradictions which may be sources of tension:

Sociability – Adaptability – Determination – Emotion – Pride and self-assurance – Tolerance – Superiority – Peaceful disposition – Brilliance – Sense of harmony – Generosity – Worldliness – Optimism.

Because you have been endowed with great esthetic sensitivity, you need and love beauty, order, and harmony. Your extreme sociability and difficulty bearing discord are likely to cost you some of your independence, if you are not careful. However, you have remarkable organizational and management skills. Your optimism and enthusiasm, tactfulness, and sincere concern for others make you a natural leader.

Born on the third day before the new moon, you are said to be of the “balsamic moon” type, which means you are spiritually inclined and have a generous humanitarian spirit. You sometimes find yourself struggling with the idea of self-preservation and ambition, and you hope that by working towards an ideal humanitarian society, the downtrodden will inherit the earth. You should keep in mind that you have a strong unconscious guilt feeling and that a simple daily effort is all that is necessary to fulfill your purpose. During the month preceding the new moon, you will be most energized and able to carry out your mission.
